Topic: Hopfield network

When you hear two versions of the same event, you can either update the memory of the first version with information from the second (updating) or retain both separately (differentiation). Prediction errors, the deviation between expected and actual outcomes, are presumably involved in mediating the competition between these processes. However, the mechanisms underlying this competition remain unclear. Here, we present a Hopfield network model that aims to account for the results of a behavioral study of memory updating. Participants heard conversational stimuli that were modified relative t
